몇 CAUTION
Safety installations serve the
protection of the user and
may not be modified or by-
passed.
The appliance switch prevents
unintentional operation of the
appliance.
This lock locks the lever of the
trigger gun and prevents the in-
advertent start of the appliance.
If the lever on the trigger gun is
released the pressure switch
turns off the pump, the high
pressure jet is stopped. If the le-
ver is pulled the pump is turned
on again.
몇 CAUTION
Wear protective clothing and
safety goggles to protect
against splash back contain-
ing water or dirt.
During the use of high-pres-
sure cleaners aerosols can
develop. Inhaling aerosols
can cause health damage.
– Depending on the applica-
tion, completely shielded noz-
zles (e.g. surface cleaner)
that significantly reduce the
emission of aqueous aero-
sols can be used for high-
pressure cleaning.
– The use of such shielding is
not possible with all applica-
tions.
– If the use of a completely
shielded nozzle is not possi-
ble, a respirator of the catego-
ry FFP 2 or the like should be
used, depending on the envi-
ronment to be cleaned.

ger to human health and the environment if han-
dled or disposed of incorrectly. However, these
components are necessary for the proper opera-
tion of the device. Devices marked with this sym-
bol must not be disposed of with regular house-
hold rubbish.
Cleaning operations which produce oily waste wa-
ter, e.g. engine washes, underbody washes, may
only be carried out using washing stations
equipped with an oil separator.
